Why can't they just use the parallel universe concept for Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?
Let me explain it simply. There's something called the multi-verse theory. In it, there are many possibilities such as being male in one universe, female in another and sporting blonde hair in a completely different one. This theory was incorporated into comics and can in fact work in the world of film. Just have Peter Parker, from the Webb films, accidentally come through a riff in the space time continuum and join Robert Downy Jr. and Chris Evens in future films. It doesn't have to happen in Caption America: Civil War, but a later film.
They're already using the parallel universe concept in Fantastic 4 and, with Marvel hostilely muscling the rights back, they can just have the same principles.

The multiverse theory doesn't apply to the real world contracts and negotiations.
It is possible that Marvel does not want the Andrew Garfield Spider-Man, and are currently looking for a younger actor to be Peter Parker, or even introduce the Miles Morales Spider-Man.
Also, there seems to be no examples of the multiverse being used in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The new Fantastic Four film has no connection with the MCU, and Marvel is not actively seeking the rights back immediately.
EDIT: In the recent Spider-Verse storyline in the Amazing Spider-Man comics, nearly every version of Spider-Man is featured, or at least mentioned. Both the Andrew Garfield Spider-Man and the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man are mentioned in the story. Given the number of Spider deaths in the story,it is possible that Marvel may have unceremoniously killed the Garfield Spider-Man off-panel.
